"What is the current state of Metropolis? I noticed that violent crime here does not seem to be as frequent as Gotham, but the evil atmosphere hanging over the entire city is not bad at all."
Zuo Si looked at the scenery on the artificial beach in the distance with great interest and asked in an uncertain tone.
Since all of this artificial island is a luxury villa area built for the rich, the beach is basically full of sexy bikini girls or young guys with topless bodies showing off their toned muscles.
And the people they serve cover wealthy people ranging from thirty to sixty or seventy years old.
If the latter sees someone he likes, he only needs to wave, and the former will immediately come forward with a fawning smile like a servant.
Moreover, many guys wearing black suits with bulging bags on their waists, presumably carrying guns, could be seen patrolling around.
However, their identity is not bodyguards, but managers of bikini girls and bodybuilding boys.
Once someone tries to escape or fails to provide good service, they will be taken away for "interview" in the next second.
When he was sent back, his eyes were basically full of fear and despair, and he could only completely give up his self-esteem and personality and become a special "commodity" put on the shelves.
Yes, they are not positioned as people here, but as commodities and playthings for rich people to choose.
There are even many teenagers and even children who are specially designed to satisfy certain perverted desires.
Even thinking about it, this business must involve crimes such as kidnapping, abduction, and illegal human trafficking.
And the people who run it cannot be any formal company, but an organization with a mafia and gang nature.
As Bruce Wayne mentioned, since Superman disappeared, all the monsters and monsters in the entire metropolis who were previously suppressed and dared not move have emerged.
Driven by capitalist profit-seeking, all laws, morals, and bottom lines are bullshit. Only by seizing new tracks and quickly accumulating wealth and becoming a superior person is it true.
Since most of the "legal" money-making businesses are basically monopolized by big capital and consortiums that have already occupied the dominant ecological niche, latecomers can only open up the Criminal Law and find some new ways.
From the fact that this kind of business of forcing minors to sell sex can be carried out in broad daylight, and the police patrolling not far away completely turn a blind eye, we know how bad the current public security and rule of law situation in this city is.
The law enforcement system, in particular, is almost infiltrated by criminals.
It is estimated that good conscientious police officers are basically either dragged into the water and stained, or they are framed and sent to prison by colleagues who took bribes, or they are simply killed secretly.
All those who stayed behind, without exception, chose to join in the evil deeds.
Facts have proven that only unscrupulous criminals will choose to compete with law enforcement agencies and deliberately show themselves to be powerful through threats, intimidation, kidnapping and other means.
The truly first-class and well-organized criminals corrupt law enforcement agencies directly from the root, making them their own good helpers, rather than the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads that may fall at any time.
You must know that once the administrative system and judicial system of a certain area are completely corrupted, there is basically no way to restore it to normal except using the army to carry out a major purge.
Gotham is a living example.
"Violent crime?
Ha ha ha ha!
The Godfathers of Metropolis are not Gotham's scumbags who clawed their way up from the lowest levels of the slums.
Some of them are retired police chiefs with insatiable desires, and others are dirty politicians who failed in the election.
These people look down on the little trick of collecting protection fees for occupying land for the king. From the beginning, they have targeted casinos, nightclubs and other entertainment venues, as well as various taboos that are not allowed by law.
Relying on the connections they had built in the past and serving as white gloves for the big shots, they almost effortlessly established a huge industry that might take several years or even more than ten years to develop in Gotham.
It has even made major strides into the fields of real estate, film and television entertainment, the Internet, and news media.
So the biggest difference between crime in Metropolis and Gotham is that crime here is usually more hidden and elegant.
They don't burst into a store with a bat and destroy everything, sending the owner and clerk to the hospital, or pull out a gun and put it to someone's head to declare who's in charge on the block.
's owner.
That's something only Gotham gangsters would do.
Quite the opposite!
The criminal organizations in the metropolis will directly choose to call the police, and then let the police who collect illegal money to help them solve the trouble.
So here you won't see Gotham-style robberies and gang fights, nor will you see gang leaders swaggering through the city with their younger brothers.
You'll just see a bunch of scumbags in suits taking advantage of a deeply corrupt judicial system."
The Bat Devil speaks directly to the unique criminal ecology of the metropolis.
If the criminal ecology model of Gotham is compared to a primitive industrial assembly line that still uses manual labor, then the criminal ecology of Metropolis is a typical advanced assembly line that has completed industrial upgrading and entered informatization and automation, highlighting a "professional" from beginning to end.
.
A situation like that in Gotham, where gang bosses or their right-hand men run and manage restaurants, nightclubs, and pubs part-time, will never happen in a metropolis.
Because the highly educated godfathers here prefer to hire a professional as a manager and ensure that no one will associate the place they operate with crime.
Most of the time, the only illegal business these legitimate establishments engage in is money laundering.
"oh?
No wonder Bruce Wayne would leave Metropolis to you and would rather sit in Gotham himself.
It turns out that fighting crime here is completely hellish.
At least that's the case for someone who prefers to go through the judicial process to get a conviction.
Looks like we'll have some fun waiting for Superman to be resurrected.
I'm very curious whether he will throw away his original moral baggage and go on a killing spree after being stimulated, or will he sadly leave the city and return to the countryside to become a farmer.
If it’s the latter, it’s really boring.”
There was clearly a hint in Zuo Si's tone that he was just watching the fun and not afraid of causing trouble.
The Bat Demon spread his hands indifferently: "It doesn't matter what happens.
Anyway, with Superman's character and the education he received since childhood, even if he really goes crazy, he will never destroy this city or even the entire earth.
Because he had personally destroyed General Zod, who was trying to revive Kryptonian civilization, he had long since become a homeless orphan.
The earth is his final home for him.
But it's quite interesting to think that he might become a tyrant who rules the earth with absolute power.
I believe that by then, Bruce Wayne's reaction will be very, very interesting.
Because he personally planned to kill this god on earth, and then personally resurrected him."
"Haha, you are right. I believe the scene will be quite exciting. Okay, let's stop chatting and I won't disturb you to enjoy your life. Remember to find Victor Stone quickly and pour the glitter oil into it.
inside his body."
After saying that, Zuo Si stood up and disappeared instantly.
"Don't worry, that guy can't escape my control."
The Bat Demon grinned with a creepy smile, and at the same time glanced at the New Phyrexia creation hidden not far away.
As a Batman from another timeline, with his IQ and the power he gained after becoming the only form of the Great Devil, it was easy to defeat Cyborg who had just gained abilities.
Not to mention that there is something like Shuoyou that is naturally capable of restraining all mechanical bodies.
Soon, the bat demon woke up the unconscious female model and continued to serve him. After feeling comfortable, he went into the house to take a shower.
When night fell, he finally put on a pure black high-tech bat suit and took to the air, using the cover of the night sky to enter this dense steel jungle.
Knowing that Cyborg's brain has been transformed into a super quantum computer by the Mother Box, and that it keeps synchronized with the huge Internet on the entire earth 24 hours a day, receiving and processing massive amounts of information, the Bat Demon did not choose to use the Internet to search for each other.
location.
Because he was very sure that before he found Cyborg's location, this guy would find him first.
Once Cyborg begins to realize that someone is hunting him, he will begin to use ubiquitous cameras and even a large number of military and civilian satellites overhead to monitor all suspicious targets around him.
It will be difficult to catch it by then.
Fortunately, Cyborg's biggest limitation is that all his abilities come from technology.
This means that he knows nothing about magic and has no resistance at all.
With the help of various prophecy magics, especially by locating the location of the Mother Box, the Bat Demon quickly discovered the traces of Cyborg.
To be precise, this young man who is in confusion is currently wearing a hoodie to cover half of his modified mechanical face, walking alone on the street with a drizzle of rain.
When encountering poor people or people in difficulty, they will use the super quantum computer in their brains to break through limitations and directly obtain deposits ranging from thousands to more than 100,000 US dollars in their accounts.
For him now, this is as easy as eating and drinking.
